Grants to National Housing Conference

WASHINGTON, D.C. —
The National Housing Conference and its research division, the Center for Housing Policy, seek to ensure safe, decent, and affordable housing by developing ideas, resources, and policy solutions to shape housing policy and practice. In 2011, with support from the Foundation, the Conference published accessible literature reviews on the intersection of housing with health and education that have since been widely used and broadly cited. However, the evidence has expanded significantly since that time. The Center will use this grant to synthesize research and create and disseminate case studies, literature reviews, and practical guides on the intersection of housing, health and education.

WASHINGTON, D.C. —
The National Housing Conference is dedicated to helping ensure safe, decent and affordable housing for all Americans by actively engaging and convening its membership in promoting effective local, state and federal housing policy solutions. The Center for Housing Policy--the Conference's research affiliate--works to broaden awareness about the nation's housing challenges and identify effective policy solutions to increase the availability of affordable homes. This grant funds a track on the Foundation's How Housing Matters initiative at the biennial 2013 Solutions Conference, and support for research activities in 2014.
